30 Days of Autism is a project designed to promote social understanding, civil rights, fight stigma, and increase understanding and acceptance for those who process and experience the world differently.

We do NOT concur!

When H saw the new cover image that I am proudly wearing on my fb page to support this project, he let out an awesome yell…

He explained to me that he was yelling ‘Sparta Style’:

“This is AUTISM!!”

It boomed across the house!

“This is AUTISM!!”

I love his pride!!

“THIS IS AUTISM!!”

Rail against the stigma!!

This post is part of the This is Autism Flash Blog, (November 18, 2013) and is open to autistic individuals as well as parents, family members and allies of autistic people. Please consider participating and telling the world what autism is in the words and works of autistic people and those who love and support them. You can read more about participation and submission guidelines on the site (linked above) and you are encouraged to signal boost and support and follow this project on FB and Twitter @ThisisAutism.

Can feel the powerful reverberations of the H-stance taken, even across the distance of an ocean.

On another side of disagreement about how to approach and understand the autistic, there may be too little comprehension of just how this H-yell exemplifies and demonstrates and flags a distinctive approach to and understanding of the autistic, the developmental success of which is reaching critical mass and so as to yield outcomes which are organically self-sustaining and self-enriching.
Where the autistic speaks and yells for itself and about itself, setting up and sustaining self-advocacy chain reaction. Great days a coming

I love reliance on early Greek metaphors. Sound foundations for deep thinking.
